CLOSED NOW - Opens at 10:00am

RUDE, RUDE, RUDE and offensive employee. I swung by a bit before 4 last Wednesday (29 November 2017), afternoon. As I passed the clerks behind the counter, one informed me that they'd be closing in five minutes. I thanked her. Her co-worker, a woman with short black hair in a red suit quickly and LOUDLY followed with "Actually, it's four minutes, no three and a half" and proceeded to countdown seconds.

She got the attention of everyone else in the store- clerks and about five customers.

I responded, far more quietly than she, that I had understood her co-worker and wouldn't stay, I asked why she needed to do that. She responded that far too many stayed well after closing and continued to defend her offensive behavior. I headed for the door (it was before 4), several other customers were still in the store a couple told me they'd also experienced the same treatment (I wondered why they tolerated it).

I had never been here before. I had no idea they were about to close. I assumed (wrongly) that they were open for at least another hour. I was dressed in clean PT gear- I had just moved my mother from physical rehab back to her independent living apartment. I had already been a tough day. I couldn't help but think she judged my by my appearance.

One of the other clerks (volunteers?) told me as I was leaving that they'd reopen tomorrow at 10. I told her it wasn't an issue as I had no intention of returning.

I gave one star for her long-suffering co-workers who had to deal with that harridan daily. Too bad, it seems nice and there were a couple pieces that caught my eye.
